The posthumous album by Johnny Hallyday exceeds one million copies

A new record for the French giant of popular music. Three weeks after its release, Johnny Hallyday's "My Country & # 39; s Love" album surpassed one million marks, his music label Warner Music France said on Saturday, confirming the announcement of BFMTV. .

The exact figures will be released on Monday, the record company said.

The singer's 51st album had already broken a sales record by becoming a diamond record (more than 500,000 copies sold) in three days. At the end of its first day of marketing, the album had already reached the extraordinary level of 300,000 physical sales. After a week, a new record has been set.

Johnny's greatest success?

In view of these performances, the record could become the greatest commercial success of Johnny Hallyday, who died last December at the age of 74, and beat the record of the album Blood for Blood, which he recorded with his son David in 1999, which has sold more than 2 million copies.

Even more so as the pre-Christmas period opens, traditionally the most glamorous of the year for the sector (40% of turnover).
